From Tricia Nason, Pool Session Coordinator
---------------
Hi there Hoofer,
We have one last pool session this semester and it is this Sunday and we have lots of exciting things going on.
Lake Lesson - If you are just starting boating with the club, this is for you. You have to take this lesson before you can use a club boat outdoors and it teachs you everything you need to know to get started.
Intermediate Rolling - This lesson will help you move from having a roll that works in the pool to a roll that will consistently work on the river and it provides an excellent workout for your roll.
Kayak Polo - By popular demand, kayak polo is back this week. It is what it sounds like and it is an absolute blast.
There will also be instruction in basic rolling or other topics by request.
As an added bonus I am again offering a mini-candy bar to anyone who is attending their first session, who gets their first roll or does the roll of the day.
There are still a few tickets left for this Sunday. If you would like to come, come to Park Street Circle at 1 pm this Sunday and bring $5 and a swim suit. No ratings required. No special knowledge required. We will be back at PSC by 5 pm. If you would like to join us for dinner afterwards you should bring $10.
Hope to see you at the pool,
Tricia

Lake Lesson and Polo @ Pool Session Sunday 12/13
From: Ned Rubert
-------------------
After some discussion and deliberation, it was determined possible to both offer a kayak lake lesson and to play kayak polo in Natatorium pool this Sunday (12/13). Caroline and I will be offering a Lake lesson for those who wish to earn their Hoofers Kayak Lake Rating (signups TBA). Since I'll be busy with the Lake Lesson, kayak polo will happen contingent upon whether somebody volunteers to referee. For either event, or to learn how to roll, you will need to purchase a Pool Session ticket ($5) from Tricia (at the Tuesday evening meeting) or from the Outdoor Programs Office (during business hours).

Last Pool Session of the Semester - Intermediate Rolling Lesson offered 12/13
From: Tricia Nason
Hi Hoofers,
The last pool session of the semester will be Sunday December 13. Pool sessions are an excellent opportunity to get started kayaking, learn to roll, learn new skills or practice skills you already have. Moreover, it is a ton of fun. There will be instruction at all levels from "How do I get into the boat" through advance rolls. The roll of the day will be a combat roll analog and you will have to come to find out just what that is. As an incentive, I am offering fun size candy bars to anyone who can do the roll of the day, gets their first roll or comes to a session for the first time. You need to buy a ticket at the meeting or from the office during business hours (over the phone at 262-1630) for $5 and you need to bring a swim suit to the pool.
I am going to teach an intermediate rolling class. This class is aimed at people who have recently learned to roll and it works most of the time in the pool. This class is also very appropriate for experienced rollers who need a tune-up or just a workout and they are encourage to attend. The goal is develop a combat roll that will work reliably on the river. This class is a lot of fun, but very tiring as it involves a lot of rolling games that can be very intense. In order to reliably combat roll you need to be able to get into your setup position and roll no matter how you flip and without setting up before you go over, so that is the focus of this class.
I hear a rumor their may be a lake lesson offered as well.
Hope to see you there,
Tricia

Pool Session this Sunday! 12/6
From: Tricia Nason
--------------
Hi Hoofers,
There are still a couple of spots remaining in this Sunday's pool session, so come meet us at PSC this Sunday at 1 pm and prepare to have fun. You need to bring $5 and a swim suit and we will spend 2 hours in the pool. This sunday we will be playing kayak polo which is a ton of fun and the roll of the day is the hand roll (useful in kayak polo). There will, as always, be instruction at all levels from "What is this thing" through advanced rolls. I will be giving instruction in the hand roll in particular for the first hour, but regular rolling will be taught as well.
As an additional incentive, this Sunday I will be offering fun size candy bars to anyone who can
-show me a hand roll by the end of the session
-gets their first roll during the session
-this is the first session they have come to
Hope to see you there,

Kayak Polo at Dec. 6 Pool Session
From: Ned Rubert kfrubert@wisc.edu
--------------
Don't know what to do at kayak Pool Sessions because you have already taken your lake lesson and already know how to roll? Or maybe you're learning to roll and feel tired and discouraged after the first hour of practice? Then read on...
We will be playing kayak polo during the second hour of the Dec. 6th Pool Session. To participate, you will need to purchase a Pool Session ticket either on Tuesday evening at the HOC meeting or through the OPO during business hours. You do not need to know how to roll or to have taken the kayak lake lesson to participate (although people who have not taken a lake lesson will be asked to demonstrate a wet exit before playing).
